And not only that she has been distancing as in not calling , always waiting for me to call. I call her about a week ago, but wasn't happy how she dismissed my call within seconds telling me she will call me back only for her not to call till to day. I don 't feel like calling her again.
(Restatement or Paraphrasing) So it seems like you have been noticing some distance between you and a friend and it also seems like he/she is not putting as much as effort into your relationship as you are. It seems at times that you put in all the work and that it's one-sided. Does that sound about right?

(Self-disclosure) Sixteen years is a long time. I recently when through a similar situation with a friend. In my case, sitting down and communicating how I feel about the situation really did resolve many things. It made me understand why all of a sudden she was being distant and in the long run, it made our bond even stronger

Today is a good day! So how can I help you? usr : Lucky! It's raining and windy here! usr : I am having this constant problem where I am really tired and so I go to bed but I cannot fall sleep for sooo long sys : (Question) I am sorry to hear that, I used to have sleeping issues as well. What do you do in the hour leading up to bed time and what do you do in bed before you sleep? usr : I tend to watch TV or check my phone, once in bed I just try to relax and close my eyes sys : (Self-disclosure) I made a rule in my house where we cannot use any technology 1 hour before bed time. We read a book for example. sys : (Providing Suggestions) That might be something you can start to implement in your schedule. Cutting out technology 1 hour before bed time. usr : I think that is a good rule, I have to recognize I use too much technology specially towards the evening/night usr : I will try to stop all that and have a read tonight, what about if that does not work? Have you tried anything else? sys : (Others) Don't feel bad, we all do it in this day and age. usr : Thank you sys : (Providing Suggestions) I also have a playlist of what's known as "white noise". Think of rain falling on the windows, a stream of water flowing, birds tweeting. This is what I listen to while I'm lying in bed waiting to go to sleep. You could try this as well. usr : Yes! Thank you for that. I do love music and also the sound of the nature, it relaxes me... so I think that can work usr : I don't want to have to take pills to sleep or something like that if I can avoid it sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Sometimes sleep issues are not about you doing something wrong, just about how you can set your mind in a better place. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) No 100%, you shouldn't take pills unless its absolutely necessary, and I don't think it is right now. I think you can do this without pills. usr : Absolutely, I agree with you. Thank you for your support. I believe I can create a much better sleeping routine usr : But it's just so easy to take the phone and start browsing news or check up funny videos
(Affirmation and Reassurance) No problem at all, its my pleasure. I believe you can as well :)

You are making a lot of sense and I appreciate you opening up. usr : My mom cares, but she is having a lot of health problems so I don’t feel like I should bother her with my problems sys : (Reflection of feelings) Have you been able to tell any friends how you are feeling and how alone you feel? usr : No. I have stopped talking to my friends and just kept to myself. I don’t think they even understand how I feel
(Others) I can understand how you feel. I live in a new town and dont have any friends here and it can be very lonely and isolating. Do you have any hobbies or do you have any time for yourself?
### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says "I just feel like every one hates me and no one really wants to be my friend. It feels like when someone is nice to me they are just doing it as a favor and they don’t really like me or care about me".
sys : (Question) Hi, can I help in any way today? Can you tell me about yourself? usr : I am a mom of three boys and I work a full time job. I feel like if I didn’t have my kids to take care of I would run away and start a new life somewhere else sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I can see how you have a lot on your plate. Yo must get very exhausted. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Are you wanting to run away alone or move away on your own? Do you feel trapped when you say you want a new life? usr : I am. My husband just got laid off at his job, but he didn’t really help with bills anyway. I’m just so depressed and I feel like I’m going to go crazy and no one even cares sys : (Question) Wow, that is a lot of pressure that you have to endure. Do you feel like you have anyone in your life who cares and listens? usr : I could never leave my kids. But sometimes I feel like it would be so much easier to just be dead sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I am really thankful that you reached out today and I am happy that you are here with me today. You are making a lot of sense and I appreciate you opening up. usr : My mom cares, but she is having a lot of health problems so I don’t feel like I should bother her with my problems sys : (Reflection of feelings) Have you been able to tell any friends how you are feeling and how alone you feel? usr : No. I have stopped talking to my friends and just kept to myself. I don’t think they even understand how I feel sys : (Others) I can understand how you feel. I live in a new town and dont have any friends here and it can be very lonely and isolating. Do you have any hobbies or do you have any time for yourself? usr : I just want to hide in a hole and not talk to anyone
(Self-disclosure) I have felt that way before and I reached out for help like you are today. I was so depressed that I need to start therapy.

(Information) Do you ever write in a journal or are you able to exercise alone? Both of those can begin a path to healing.

(Providing Suggestions) I can relate to that. Maybe you can start with journaling and writing out your feelings and thoughts. They may help clear your mind especially in the evenings.

(Information) Yes, you deserve some time to be selfish and take care of you and your needs. You can do it in the evenings when hopefully everyone is asleep and you can rest your mind and reset your thinking.

How long have you been divorced sys : (Reflection of feelings) It sucks. usr : the divorce took place three years ago. i let her handle the whole thing to save money on attorneys. i was willing to do anything to end the relationship, especially forfeit the money I gave her to improve her home $30000 so she could get it refinanced because of an impending balloon loan coming due. i thought she would be grateful but she kept after my bank account while destroying my soul. i had to escape her, whatever the cost. i paid with my emotions. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So your x is wanting more, mine is doing so to control me usr : the sad part is that i was a young widower with a small child and when i remarried i considered myself a hero for caring for my dying wife and my son. all i ended up being was a sucker. she smelled a sucker and she went after my good side. sys : (Reflection of feelings) I can understand the emotion part as mine had lawyer who that encouraged her to seek more. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I am not wanting to be with anyone because my x is jealous and wants me alone. I desire romance but feel that supporting two wives is too much. usr : lawyers are unprincipled rats who bend the truth as long as they can get away with it. wouldn't trust one as far i could push him. i only got through the worst of it at the time because i knew how to meditate and because i took extremely long walks. what a price to pay! usr : Now my friends say, don't ever get married again. Where were they when I was closing in on this fiend? sys : (Reflection of feelings) Long walks alone sucks. I want to so much hold a hand walking, but I know she will try to stop any involvement usr : forget her. ignore her. time is valuable but waiting for the air to clear helps. i tried dating again but the pool of available ladies is really a swamp. gotta get really lucky or stay clear. sys : (Providing Suggestions) I realize the desire to be alone, but find a female friend that wants to spend time together to keep you from feeling like you are going it alone. usr : looks like i am being the supporter here but give it time. alone is much better than being sucked down into the muck.
(Providing Suggestions) Make a friendd 1st then the romance may come. There are a lot of lonely women who desire friendship as well.
